In the southern side portal at the western façade of the Strasbourg Cathedral we can see the symbols of months on the pedestal of the statues of Wise and Foolish Virgins. Under one of the Wise Virgins there are reliefs depicting a figure threshing, and a young woman with a fruit tree. Commissioned by the museum in 1909, the casts were made in the plaster casting workshop of Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, Berlin. It was exhibited in the Romanesque Hall in 1910. Probably lost during World War II, the current whereabouts of the artworks are unknown.
